Pruning Brazilian wood is usually done during its growth period, which is helpful for the plant's recovery due to the warm climate. It grows very quickly and can easily grow taller, so it needs to be cut at the base of the branches to control its height. In addition, some branches and leaves should be pruned regularly to increase ventilation and light transmission and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth. After pruning, put it in a semi-shady place and wait for the wound to dry. It usually takes 20 days to sprout.

1. Pruning time

1. Pruning time

Pruning of Brazilian wood is generally concentrated during the growth period, that is, spring and autumn. Due to the high temperature and humidity in summer, wounds after pruning are easily infected, causing plant disease. The temperature in winter is not high, which is not conducive to recovery after pruning, and there is a risk of frostbite. In addition, if the plant is diseased, it must be pruned in time.

2. Pruning method

The Brazilian wood is an evergreen tree. Because it grows very quickly, it can easily become very tall if not pruned. At this time, you need to cut off the branches from the root node. First cut from top to bottom, and then cut from bottom to top. When cutting, you must ensure that the cuts are smooth and close to the trunk. The cut branches can be used for cuttings. . In addition to pruning height, you can also cut off some leaves regularly to increase ventilation and light transmission to avoid bacterial growth.

3. Post-cut care

< p>After pruning the Brazilian wood, you need to put it in a semi-shady place to avoid sunlight and maintain good ventilation. In order to avoid wound infection, you can spray carbendazim or apply plant ash on it and wait until it dries. In addition, in order for it to grow better in the future, a little fertilizer needs to be added.

IV. Precautions

If the Brazilian wood is pruned due to disease, the cut diseased branches and leaves cannot be thrown away casually, but must be destroyed intensively to prevent the spread of the disease and the recurrence of the disease. In addition, after topping it, the climate must be kept warm and the temperature should be controlled between 25-30°C, so that it can germinate in about 20 days.
